John Thune, Mike Johnson and far too many Repukes want the MAGA Movement to die rather than see the demise of the corrupt Political Establishment because they're part of it.

Why? Because they're part of it. I know I might be mostly preaching to the choir here, but so be it. Our battle doesn't lie in general elections versus Democrats.

Our battle lies within the Republican primaries. What good does it do simply to elect a "Repiblican" if that Republican is a Liz Cheney, Jeb Bush, or Lindsey Graham? And yes, I know that President Trump has endorsed Graham, which is a joke. Maybe Trump knows that he can't risk losing Graham's vote on certain legislation?.I don't know.

That’s exactly what the problem is. They are just acting like they like Trump
Because they need his supporters. They are scum just like the democrats and they want it to go back to the way it use to be. They are just running the clock out on Trump.

MAGA Movement


At some point people are going to have to define what MAGA or America First currently is beyond political slogans and catchphrases.

When Trump first started running back in 2015 he was very clear on the real concrete ways he could Make America Great Again, build a wall, deport illegals and re-work trade deals in our favor.

Since then his political movement has been all over the place, sometimes lining up with expectations and other times straying into old establishment territory.

If MAGA wants to survive going forward, the movement will have to make sure that MAGA is fully separated from the establishment. Because at this point the rank and file of MAGA have given cover to the establishment, rather than replace them with actual MAGA representation.

The establishment has already taken it over. Fell faster than the Tea Party did. Unionically, Marco Rubio -- who was once a TP darling, then Mitch McConnel's sock puppet, is now a MAGA darling.

It's telling that the MAGA boys who worship Trump and the Socialist gals who worship the DEI state both think that they are the majority of Americans.

Only about 9% of the population identifies as far left and only about 10% identifies as far right.

Trump is gone in 3 years. After that there will be no MAGA, as it is so centered on Trump. There will be a lot of conservatives, the majority of Americans identify as moderate conservative.

Traditional DC establishment Pubs play not to lose.

They also greatly desire and strive for congenial relationships with their “colleagues across the aisle” and MSMPravda media sources.

Mainly, they don’t want to pizz anyone off too badly for fear they might lose their seat.

The modern Dem (Socialist) party plays to win. By any means necessary.

The two parties are the equivalent of the left wing and the right wing of the same buzzard that flies over and shits on the rest of the country. Neither party is actually for reform.

The way to fix the country isn't to call for a constitutional referendum, but rather to hold congress to a STRICT constitutional standard. We see where incrementalism has gotten us over the past 100 years, and most especially in the last sixty.

As opposed to what? What would YOUR preferred action have been in that case? Do tell.

I don't know anybody who.worships Trump. I know many here like to say that, though, and it's very easy to type it out.

The #1 problem is that the political system isn’t compatible with a stupid and unprincipled electorate.

The team promising free stuff will always win in the end.

This is one of those “pick 2” scenarios.
1. Democracy/freedom
2. Peace and sensible governance
3. Dirty foreigners, voting rights for idiots, etc

You should have figured out it was the Uniparty in 2016 after OMB was elected. His "impeachment" was your second clue. The Uniparty impeached him for uncovering one of their many laundering scams.
